Sedorolis sp.

Material 3 (8.0 mm), ♀ (ovig. 9.2 mm, non-ovig. 8.2 mm), New Caledonia, 23°10´S, 167°10´E, 29 Aug 1985, 675– 680 m, BIOCAL, stn. DW 33, N.O. ‘Jean Charcot’ (MNHN Is.6007). 1 ♀, N.O. ‘Jean Charcot’, BIOCAL, stn. DW 33, 23°10´S, 167°10´E, 29 Aug 1985, 675– 680 m (MNHN Is.6008) [Previously dissected].

Remarks. These specimens are exceedingly similar to Sedorolis simplex sp. n., differing only in being larger ( S. simplex is consistently less than 6 mm), the anterior head lobes a slightly different shape (weakly sinuate vs convex), the penial openings are mutually adjacent (narrowly separate in S. simplex) and the sternites of pleonites 1–3 seem to have slightly more developed lobes. Th e specimens are also from a slightly greater depth than Sedorolis simplex .

These differences may be due to the Sedorolis sp. material being larger in size. The material has been mutilated (by previous dissection), so description is not possible.
